WARNING
.
Always turn the ignition switch to
the

when the engine is running and
remain hot for some time after
the engine is stopped.
.
Do not spill engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid or any other
fluid on hot engine components.
This may cause a fire.

when the hybrid system is
stopped. If your body or clothes
come into contact with a rotating
fan, that could result in serious
injury. To avoid risk of injury,
always turn the push-button igni-
tion switch to the
“
OFF
”
